CAVILUX® Smart System
Unique advantages
Schlieren image from a laser welding process
›› Powerful and versatile pulsed diode laser light source designed for highspeed imaging and monitoring
›› Excellent for ultra-high speed imaging
›› Accurate imaging of processes involving extremely small and/or fast
objects - without motion blur
›› Monitoring of hot and bright objects - without blinding brightness
›› Versatility by varying pulse duration and repetition rate
›› Possibility to generate up to five pulses per one camera exposure
›› Changeable illumination optics provides flexibility
›› Efficient lighting of processes even in limited space and hard-to-reach places
›› Monochromatic and low-coherence light ensures the best possible image
quality – without chromatic aberrations or speckle
›› Light is immune to surrounding lighting conditions such as ambient or
sunlight, as well as to process vibrations
For visualization of various applications:
